Randy Shar* – First in Li*e 1976

The vinyl was pristine and this is probably the cleanest rip I’ve done to date.

Randy Sharp was a big-time seventies country star who was trying to have a pop crossover hit with this album (confusingly his second titled “First in Line”). It pretty much works as he and his cast of usual westcoast suspects get the right feel down but “First in Line” lacks that one song that needs to hit the singles charts for this kind of experiment to really be considered a success. It probably doesn’t help that the few times he’s actually doing country on here is were he really sounds at home. (by warrian)
